Weight Loss Tip

Children require different weight-loss programs than adults do because children have different needs. A child’s weight-reduction program must ensure enough nutrients for growth and development, programs for children should focus on long-term efforts to control weight gain rather than attempts to lose weight quickly. Often children may need only to hold weight constant while they grow in height. Adult diets can be dangerous for children; even among older children dieting by adult standards may be inappropriate.
